Palestinian jailed for murder of Israeli teenagers | |
(35 minutes later) | |
An Israeli military court has sentenced a Palestinian man to three life terms for the abduction and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank. | |
Hussam Qawasmeh, a member of Hamas, must also pay $63,000 (£41,000) in compensation to the victims' families. | |
Two other suspects were shot dead by Israeli forces in Hebron in September. | |
The murders in June led to an escalation of violence between Israel and Palestinian militants, which erupted into a 50-day conflict in Gaza. | |
The leader of Hamas, the Islamist group dominant in Gaza, said in an interview in August that a Hamas cell had killed the teenagers but had not acted on instructions from above. |
